W ith the aim of facilitating progressive changes in policies, budgets and governance processes, ACT Africa carries out:
- The policy framework and budgetary priorities, the design of budgets at a disaggregated level, and the bottlenecks in implementation.
- Dissemination of the research findings and policy asks through its in-house publications, external publications, website, consultations, panel discussions and roundtables.
- Fostering people’s participation in public policy processes by demystifying the technicalities in fiscal policy and budgetary processes, developing Primers and Manuals, and conducting Capacity Building Workshops.
- Engaging not only with policymakers at the national and regional level but also with a large number of grassroots level civil society organisations across the country.
Our research has generated substantive insights on:
- How responsive government programmes and schemes are to regional and social diversity and other challenges in the country
- Whether the pro-poor public policies are being backed with adequate budgetary resources or not
- Institutional and procedural bottlenecks in the implementation of programmes / schemes.
